I have been made redundant but an advertisement has appeared for a similar post. What should I do?

If you were made redundant because your job was, either no longer needed, or there was a diminishing requirement for it, but you have clear evidence that this was not the case, then you could claim unfair dismissal.

Your employer should have actively investigated the possibility of suitable alternative employment for you if you were facing with redundancy. It sounds as if this may not have been properly explored. One issue will be the extent to which circumstances have changed since you left and whether the prospect of a suitable alternative job existed at the time when you were declared redundant.

Remember that you will need to make any claim within three months of your date of termination of employment with your employer.
